A Crash Course In Comedy

Aspiring comedians can go to school--online--with ComedyCentral.com's new "Crash Course in Comedy," a series of 10 broadband video classes for wannabe comics. A new three-minute class will appear each week on the site.

The video episodes, taught by professional comedian Ted Alexandro of "Comedy Central Presents" and "The Late Show with David Letterman," feature Oddcast's animated avatar technology to enable students to create, build, voice and post their acts on comedycentral.com. Students can tap the site's library of video standup acts to research their acts.
